Revealed: Channel 4 Bosses To Accept Bonuses In 2024 As Hundreds Of Staffers Laid Off


Channel 4's Alex Mahon and Ian Katz will get bonuses in 2024 and see pay reduced by 30% to 40% after a difficult year for 'Gogglebox' network.

Deadline can reveal that the vast majority of Channel 4 staff will receive a bonus this year around half the level of 2023, including CEO Alex Mahon, content boss Ian Katz and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Allan. The likes of E4 head Karl Warner and factual entertainment chief Alf Lawrie have both confirmed their exits and drama boss Caroline Hollick is expected to leave imminently as Channel 4’s weighty commissioning teams are slimmed down and newly-merged departments are forged. Channel 4 CEO Mahon was at the Oscars last weekend alongside Film4 boss Ollie Madden, celebrating wins for Poor Things and Zone of Interest in what has been a strong year for the movie division.
